My experience coming to SvelteKit from Rails and Ruby
This is specifically because my experience in webdev is very informed by Ruby on Rails. I've done plenty of work with strongly typed languages, but never webdev. My experience is also from 2018 and older, so there may well be modern solutions that achieve parity with the clever things I'm finding in SvelteKit that I feel were not as present in Rails work. Don't at be bro!
Strong types are extraordinary at catching inter module communication issues. Any time you’re putting polymorphic messages into Redis, etc. Also it's very nice having a strongly typed, schema-aware database client. The auto-completion is very useful.
Idea: make some playgrounds to show examples live
Sometimes the VSCode plugins don’t update when you push prisma schema changes
